QMUCU members are engaged in ongoing industrial action fighting for our working conditions, students’ learning conditions and the right to strike. Apart from the ongoing national dispute to defend our pensions, to fight against increasing workload, loss in real wages, gender and BAME pay gaps, QMUCU is undergoing its own local dispute. As a response to the threats posed by QMUL management of docking 100% pay to all staff engaged in strike who did not agree on making up lost teaching due to strike action, QMUCU won a historically high ballot to oppose this policy. As a result of this local dispute, colleagues are determined to take further industrial action in the comming months, while branch meetinga ttendance and union membership are rising. We will fight this together!

Come join us for a fun and empowering evening from 5pm-12am at the George Tavern, 373 Commercial Road, E1 0LA (8 minutes walk from Shadwell overground, 12 minutes from Whitechapel)!

  • 6.30-7.30pm Poetry – Katy Lewis Hood, Nisha Ramayya, Aea Varfin-van Warmelo
  • 8-9.30pm Music – Alex Etchart, Genevieve Dawson (+ more TBC!)
  • 9.30pm-12am Dancing – Crease, MPULS3

We will have a creche so families can attend. Please bring food if you can for a pot luck buffet dinner.

This is a free event (including food) but we will be raising money for the QMUCU strike hardship fund. We suggest the following donations, but it is very much up to you – student/low-/unwaged £5, waged £10, comrade £20, solidarity £50. Donate using this link or on the door

You can donate to the crowdfunder here.
